After that, he seems to have relocated to New York City perhaps to better
serve in the provincial Assembly where
he was elected first in 1691. However, shortly thereafter, he appears
to have returned to Europe where he married and raised a family. His marriage
to the widow Anna in February 1694 was short-lived and childless. In early
1695, he wed one Anna Groenwout in Amsterdam. At least eight children
were christened in Holland between 1695 and 1708.

In 1702 [sic], he transferred his bible to a young Johannes
De Peyster of New York. At that time, Livinius Van Schaick was identified
as a merchant of Amsterdam. American -based traditional
sources also tell us that he had returned to Holland. In April of that
year, he also was named heir
and co-executor of his mother's estate. In 1706,
he was in line to share share in the estate of his widowed sister. His
last child (named Levinius) was christened in December 1708. At that time,
he was living in Amsterdam. His widow buried a child in 1710.

We seek more definitive information on his passing!

notes

Sources: The life of Livinius Van
Schaick is CAP biography number 3965.
This sketch is derived chiefly from
family and community-based
resources. Until recently, we were able to present only the community-based
(Albany) side of his life. This Livinius Van Schaick is one of only a
few who were born in Albany to immigrant parents and who relocated to
the Netherlands to live out the balance of their lives.

Online
family information: For substantial information on this individual's
out-of-Albany life (which makes the Albany
context much less puzzling), we are grateful for the very accessible
material provided
by Richard van Schaik. We hope to be able to provide more on this welcome
resource.
